Berkey Light Water Filter

Introduction

Berkey Light water purifiers are the most practical, user-friendly, and economical water purification systems available. To use, water is poured into the upper chamber. Gravity draws the water through the exclusive Black Berkey® purification elements. Contaminates are captured on and within the micro-porous purification elements and are separated from the water.

How Does Berkey Light Water Filter Works?

These days, some of the most affordable, practical, and easy-to-use water purifying devices are the Berkey Light models. Pour water into the upper chamber to begin using. Water is subsequently drawn through the unique Black Berkey® filtration components by gravity, where impurities are trapped in the microporous elements and eliminated from the water. The lower chamber is where the filtered water gathers and is then delivered via the spigot.
The Berkey Light may be carried as it cleanses water because the system stays connected when it is in operation. When moving from a kitchen prep area to a dining room, for example, and filtered water is required in multiple areas, this feature comes in quite handy. It is always possible to see the water levels in both compartments.
